Fodor's Expert Review Ark

Like its near neighbor, Balux Cafe, Ark is part of the Asteras Complex, an attempt to turn a stretch of sandy beach into your entire day: lounging, dinner, drinks, dancing. Ark, however, is focused on the culinary side, and under the guidance of chef Yannis Baxevanis it is a tempting affair. By day the café churns out smoothies, excellent coffees, and cakes; by night its waterside setting (including tables that line a jetty jutting into the harbor) indulges chef's Greek-French culinary leanings, from organic beef tenderloin served with a potato tart, to his signature wild local sea bass cooked in a wood-fired oven.
